Description
This intriguing sculpture depicts the ancient Greek hero Odysseus hiding from the Giant Polyphemus by clinging to a ram's belly. Little is known about the sculpture's history (possibly Greece?), it has been held in the Galleria Doria Pamphilij, Rome.
In the novel 'The Odyssey', Odysseus gets the cyclops Polyphemus drunk on wine. After blinding him Odysseus and his men escape from the cave by clinging to the bellies of the monster's sheep as they go out to graze.

I always wondered how sculpts would look like if painted. This started when I was told that the sculpts in the metope of Parthenon where painted and what remains today is the decoloured marble after many ages.
Some times I just try to paint, but in other cases, something provocative comes into my mind and I follow a more creative path. In any case, enjoy!
